About CodeShot
Codeshot turns code into images worth sharing.
Paste a snippet, pick a theme, and get a clean PNG ready for a blog post,
a pull request, a slide, or a post. No screenshots, no cropping, no
fighting with window edges.
READS YOUR CODE PROPERLY
• Syntax highlighting for 60 languages, detected automatically or picked
by hand
• 60 themes in light and dark, each previewed in its own real colours
• Any monospaced font installed on your Mac, at any size
• Line numbers and window chrome when you want them, gone when you don't
BACKGROUNDS THAT DO THE WORK
• 92 gradient presets across 14 colour families
• 19 built-in macOS wallpapers, or drop in an image of your own
• Any solid colour — or none, and export with a transparent background
• Scale and anchor the image behind your code
SIZED FOR WHERE IT'S GOING
• Lock to 16:9, 1:1, 9:16 or any custom ratio and the snapshot pads
itself to fit
• Fixed width, or let the code decide
• Export at 1×, 2× or 3×
SAVED IN ONE KEYSTROKE
• Choose a folder once — every ⌘S after that drops a timestamped PNG
straight into it
• Copy to the clipboard with ⇧⌘C, or drag the preview straight into
another app
• Press ⇧⌘V to snapshot whatever is on your clipboard
BUILT FOR SHORTCUTS
• A Make Snapshot action brings all of it to Shortcuts, Spotlight and Siri
• Each shortcut can pin its own theme, ratio and scale, or follow the app
• Turn a folder of snippets into a folder of images in a single run
Codeshot is a native Mac app with no network access at all — your code
never leaves your Mac.
